Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for October 24, 2022

Les.. Why did you leave all the girly pics on the walls?!? Epic fail!

It’s nice to see she’s starting to realize how great a guy Ox is. Her head injury must be healing and she’s gaining some clarity.

So will she still stay in Les’ room or decide to go elsewhere??

What a helpful lug Ox is… Les, being a louse, is trying his part to help.

The ‘Password’ is …

”Disproportionate.” ✨

Oxman is making his move… GO OXMAN!

Looks like Tiff is just waking up. This may be tough on Les.

Does she have a color-changing sling?

It is noted that Ox’s interest and concern for Tiffany is genuine. Let’s hope this ends well.

Temporary memory loss, will Les take advantage???

Can someone explain…maybe I’m too male to understand any of this, BUT WHY of all the five star hotels Tiffany could have checked into, or any of a number od other places for that matter, why would she go to Les’s? Besides the obvious bump on the noggin…..

I’m a female and I don’t get it either. The last place I would choose if I were hurt and helpless is the home of a useless sleazebag.

Okay.

Good show Ox.

At least he’s trying for all the good it’ll do.

After all, Tiff owes him nothing according to some “folks” here.

I’ll wager Ox will even go so far as to camp out and guard the manse against further “intrusion” until Tiffany returns.

But. No good deed goes unpunished, big guy.

And Tiffany. She’s finally getting the attention she’s been craving for years and she’s barely noticing it.

Or worse, she’s in danger of taking it for granted.

Sad.

What happened to Gunther? Did Les decide not to provide an audience for Gunther’s tantrum, and just walk away?

Or did Gunther run up to the main house to “tattle” to Al and Irma about Les having a girl in his room?

She has a sprained wrist and yet she’s laid up like she’s dying of consumption?

Ox, just ask her out on a date. If you’re interested, you ask.

Please, please let Al and Irma walk into this scene! And let them misinterpret everything! What fun that would be, or, at least let Tiffany look up at the walls and be like, get me out of here!

Les, that’s pitiful. “I put ice in your water.” No competition there, Les. Ox wins this round hands down.

Wake up girl! Ox seems to be a keeper. Les needs a lot of work. Not saying he couldn’t get there some day, but he’s a fixer upper.

Les is setting his plan in motion. That is actually vodka over rocks.

Where’s angry Gunther? Wouldn’t he want to barge in to see if Tiffany was OK? Has he evaporated since Friday?

Good Job Les and Ox.

Maybe I’m being too realistic. If Ox called 911, the EMT guys would not have given her a sling. They would have taken her to the ER. Where the docs would have X-rayed and just given her a wrist wrap and maybe some lidocane. But, recognizing her mental problems, would have held her overnight for concussion analysis.I know, Luanniverse has nothing to do with the real world.

A good story line today, and many have covered the nuances in the comments. So, it’s left to me to be picky and notice that Tiff’s cast changed to purple in the last panel…

They’re pictures, i don’t think tiffany is so insecure she’d be jealous of a picture. She looks worlds hotter than any of the models depicted on the posters and besides…she’s THERE. Les, if you show tiffany you’re a gentleman and not some creep or immature boy…when she gets better…the sky is the limit for what she might do to say “thank you.”

I hope Tiffany realizes that Ox is the best for her!

He left the posters! I don’t want to know what it was he actually did fix up in that room last week, that the posters weren’t the priority. Hey, he gave her the use of a bed, which Luann and Bernice did not do for Tara after Tara got hit by a car.

Sooo . . . we’re still on this?

OK Tiff… who’s your Daddy now? (. ❛ ᴗ ❛.)

Les is being a good friend. He’s given her his room and checking on her and bringing her water and orienting her. And he’s been a perfect gentleman. It’s a shame there’s the competition between him and Ox for her attention, however innocent it could be, since Ox is a good friend too and is doing everything he can to help. She needs help right now and these two guys are helping. In a realistic setting, as another poster said, she should have periodic neuro checks throughout the night—I did that for a friend one night after he had a bicycle accident and hit his head. He had to be woken up every couple hours and his pupils checked to be sure he wasn’t developing pressure on the brain from the trauma. Surely the doctors would have advised she have this before springing her from the hospital. I know, Luannverse, but even so, it’s sweet that Les is being attentive. She needs Punk to sleep on her, too. :-)

Les has a chance for redemption, for that decent spark in his character to grow, “for the love of a good woman". I wonder how he’ll react if she continues to be unaware of his feelings. Continue to try to be a better man or revert to the bitter cynic.

And you’re in sleeze boy’s room … why oh why would you have ever ?

Okay, panel #1 needs no further comment.

Clearly he didn’t clean up the walls.

Where is Gunther, the protector ?

Fourteen get well texts is too many – kinda creepy. But Tiff was impressed – so what do I know…

Back in the day, Tiffany would have looked at all of Les’s girlie pics and affirmed that she was better.

The reason Leslie didn’t remove the posters on his walls is because they are load-bearing posters. Without them that corner of the building would collapse.

Awwwww. Look at the smile Tiffany has seeing how much Ox care for her♡. It’s nice to see Tiffany finally realising what a great guy Ox is. Is also nice to see how les is understanding that she’s understanding.

Now it’s gotten boring. Oh well.

Looks like Tiff is finally waking up and appreciating what Ox has done for her.

BTW, will anyone try to contact Mr. Moneybags and let him know what happened to his daughter??

I wonder what he would think of her staying in a house with two men!!

So I suppose this week is going to be all Tiffany laying in bed talking about how “sweet” Ox is..

Hey all… Tiff has 2 (not 1…2!!) friends who care and who cared to help in her moment of need. They each did so in the way they knew how. Of course Tiff asked to go to Les and Gunth’s place; there was no other. Ox didn’t invite her to his home (where she’s probably never been anyway). Ox is not the only one who is being sweet.

Well she is realizing what Ox is done for her, but will that mean anything between them? Les’s concern is real, but his actions are Barney Fife like. Is that drawn for humor or to make an point that is important? Remains to be seen as does so much more.

Les has hershel walker syndrome, the glass of water is real that makes me important; you need to realize I am as important as that other guy. If I get too stressed I escape into another personality,

folks are focusing on the glass of water, but Les has offered up his home and his room. that’s more than just a glass of water.

Go Team Ox! LOL

Looks like Tiffany is starting to warm up to Ox. I just hope this won’t lead to any relationship drama or love triangles.

Oh, where, oh where has our dear Luann gone? Oh, where oh where can she beeee? :[

is Tiffany seeing the light re Ox? She is pretty intelligent, she can see who actually cares!

Evidently cleaning up his bedroom only goes so far for Les. I’m sure Tiff just loves looking at a bunch of posters of slim Pin-up Girls.

Wow that les is such a nice guy.

Gotta take down the posters of the fantasy girls if you ever want a real one.

Well, Les straightened up his room. But couldn’t he have taken down at least SOME of those posters? We know he’s trying to impress Tiffany. Appearing to be less of of a lech, might help.

Take a hint, Tiffany!

Don’t trust the water. Trust Ox.

How did Le’s room get cleaned up so fast?

Ox sent her 14 texts? Most phones make a sound when a text comes in and Ox knew she was sleeping. That is excessive and creepy. You don’t bombard someone with texts without them replying to any.

Les gave her a safe place to sleep and now he is checking on her when she is awake.

Well goody goody for you les!!!

Wow. The sling turned red in the last panel!

Starting to get better

Perhaps, only perhaps Tiff is realizing things about Ox?

What about the window, fixing that too?

Tiff’s sling changed from white to the same color as her top. Subliminal?

Pathetic, Les.

We do what we can

Maybe she can let Ox stay in the servants’ quarters.

“Oxford is so sweet. I think I’m falling in love with him.”

Once again Greg has inept teenagers doing whatever they want to other people’s property. This is a really annoying, re-occurring theme for this comic strip. Is Ox qualified to repair a big front door? How do you “repair” a broken door? Everyone knows the door itself and the casings need to be replaced if he broke it down. And I guess he is also licensed to replace the window? It’s just too much of a stretch, Mr. Evans. At what point do you intend to have the actual property owner contacted regarding his daughter’s welfare and the damages at his home???

Who did Les call in to clean up—-Barbara Eden or Elizabeth Montgomery?

I like how Tiff’s head is right under a open leg pic! :D

Were is go Gun who is Tiff good friend.

There is NO WAY someone who is that groggy after a head injury would not have been in the hospital overnight. Get real.

boy, she is a quick healer – the cast is gone in the last frame

les is cute ngl

What happened to Gunther??

Are you finally clueing in, Tiffany??

Now that’s a surprise – I expected we’d find Tiff awake and ransacking Les’ room, looking for anything he might have taken from the mansion.

Give it up Les, you can’t compete with Ox.

When will Dez show up with magical healing herbs?

So, in addition to his apron, Les can’t figure out how to take down those pinups!

go Ox!

I’m all for an Oxanny arc. But I would still love to know who/what broke into the manse!

What a pathetic simp.

At least the shoes weren’t under the bed! 8^ )

We often criticize Greg for lack of continuity in Luaniverse. Compare these two strips:

https://www.gocomics.com/luann/2022/10/21

I believe Tiff gas been the only character to have seen Les’ room.

Okay, storyline suggestion. Dad hurries home and finds Ox fixing the door and decides Ox is the man for his little girl. That’s be a game changer.

Ox is also fixing a hole where the rain gets in to stop Tiffany’s mind from wandering.

9 Chickweed Lane is gross today

Is Ox a busboy at the restaurant? Even going to community college? Doubt daddy would be too impressed.

Poor Les… He can’t quite compete against Ox, but it’s sweet of him to try.

I am sure than Tiffany wouldn’t like all of those seminude women on the walls.

Maybe there is some hope for Oxford after all! Tiffany seems to be recognizing and appreciating all he has done for her, and also gratifyingly ignoring braggart phony Leslie Knox….

Awww Ox….what a sweetheart, hopefully she’s seeing what great friends she has. (Les, lose the posters….d’oh!)
